Firefox 4

[GhoulRa]

Anyone else notice that in Firefox 4 the text is blurry and smaller? I disabled hardware acceleration, but see no difference at all.

You can just change it in options. I reccomend Verdana at 16.

I had the same problem and turning off hardware acceleration worked, did you remember to restart your browser after turning it off?

[WadeFulp]

I installed it, compared it with Chrome, Chrome was still faster, still using Chrome.

The point of a MINI is because it is cute and customizable, I would still rather have the Lambo due to it being fast as fuck.

I have a mini, I feel emasculated by your post. Also i use firefox just because I've used it for so long... I don't like change :(

If you don't like the layout you can always change it back by click on the menu bar option.

It's just anti-aliasing on the fonts, frankly it looks better if you have a good screen to accompany it

Loving the new firefox, just downloaded it.
It's rather pretty and noticably faster.

Also, loving the "app tabs"

I haven't noticed that. I'm more pissed about the positioning of certain buttons and not being able to move them.

For the smaller text, if you hold alt down and press the + sign, it will increase the size. If you hold down alt and press the - sign, it will decrease the size.

I really wish I could see the difference that others are seeing with different browsers. I mean I've tried Chrome, Opera, and Firefox and really haven't noticed any difference in speed. Maybe my computer just sucks.

I'll compare them in Adobe browserlab, but Anti-Aliasing always looks good. It's why I don't like webbrowsing on Windows.

[Wolfos]

Yep, there's a bit of text smoothing there but it's still hideous in comparison to OS-X.
The upper one is Firefox 3.6, the other one is Firefox 4 RC.

[Aprime]

Downloaded it today, it's a beast!
I never really used Chrome, I believe it is faster as they say.. But it's lacks the Dictionary and other ad ons like firebug
At least, that's what I think...

[Yert]

I use the vastly superior Minefield. It's much quicker and is a mozilla browser.

I mean just look at it like holyshit goddamn

[groundpwndr]

If anyone uses Windows Vista or 7, I recommend Palemoon. It is basically Firefox, but optimized for today's CPU architecture, it removes a lot of the legacy support for Windows XPired, such as the Active -X crappola, and it is faster than Chrome.

[Aprime]

I like fucking with the sizes of the boxes

chrome can suck a huge one... it's at best BARELY faster, plus it just lacks... everything else...

yes, FF default was a bit smaller, i just made default text bigger, problem solved

I lost more respect for Wade.

I am a guy who recently installed over 20 new browsers. Listen to me when I say this:

Chrome is defiantly the fastest still! I'm still using chrome right now. It is secure, fast and generally speaking supports new technology/scripting/methods better than other browsers (eg. html 5 support, css3 support etc etc).

And funnily enough many of the browsers I tried were BASED on Chromium as it is open source! Most of them simply changed the names and titles!
